This book weight holds done the pages quite nicely for me to read and eat at the same time.

Save the Bananas!
Who would have thought that a banana would make a great book weight -- my husband did! He likes to read at the counter while he eats and thought the banana was a perfect weight to keep book pages open. Unfortunately, they get a little mushy for eating.
He was pleasantly surprised that I found an actual book weight at the Vermont Country Store. I Googled it and there was our perfect answer to save our bananas! Now we just eat them!

Essential
This was my second purchase after using my first book weight for over a year. It is so helpful when needing to use your hands for something other than holding the pages of the book, especially in the wind. Have given as a gift and will also give other to gift or keep in purse for me.

This product is handy for avid book readers.
You can read, knit, or do other things with your hands, without losing your place. I bought these as stocking stuffers for my husband and son--they were happy to receive them and started using them the very next day.

The best bookmark ever
I would be lost without my leather book weight. I use it whenever I'm out and about, eating on my own, or at home. I don't have to fumble with keeping the book open while I eat my meal. People have remarked what a cool thing it is. I always steer them to the Vermont Country Store.

Could be heavier
Weight is sufficient for modest sized books, but nothing heavier.

Makes multi-tasking easier.
I got tired of trying to hold my books open while I was doing other things like eating or leaning sideways on the bed so I thought I'd order this handy gadget. Now I have to learn to read slower so that I don't have to move it so often lol. Kidding aside, it is a great help when you need to hold the book open with no hands.
